A homeless man who allegedly choked, raped and robbed a woman on an early morning jog in New York City has been arrested and found to be wanted in other sex crimes.
The 29-year-old suspect is accused of attacking a 43-year-old woman who was running at Pier 45 around 4.30am on Thursday. He was taken into custody at the Port Authority Bus Terminal a few hours after the incident, the New York Post reported. The man was not immediately charged or identified.
He allegedly grabbed the woman from behind, choked her until she fainted, removed her clothing, raped her and stole her phone, wallet and headphones. The suspect fled on a Citi Bike, according to the newspaper.
